Pretty standard, it’s made of chocolate. Buy a stainless steel exhaust clamp from the many online retailers.

Tip: there are different closing mechanisms, pick one that can be opened up and you won’t have to take the exhaust off to fit.

So - it's just a clamp for the two parts of the exhaust and doesn't locate that joint against any fixture on the footpeg hanger or the frame?

PS - do you know the diameter?

Correct, just a clamp…..albeit a double so either replace like for like or get a really wide one or two smaller.

Diameter - 57mm

Do you think I would be able to get the clamping mechanism apart and work one end over the pipe - seems about the same width as the one that's on (maybe slightly less)?

@mike5100 I think so because it has a nut you can remove and open up, it’s obviously going to bend a little so be gentle - My 57mm was outer tube so just be mindful of that, does that one you mentioned clamp 60-61mm?

I'm not quite sure what it means .... but possibly that when the clamp is tightened on to a 57mm pipe the outer dimension of the clamp is 60-61mm? (so perhaps the thickness of the material used is 2mm (inside diameter 57mm, OD 61mm). But I admit it reads like the pipe that it is clamping on to should be 60 to 61mm. If so I wonder why they call it a 2.25inch (57mm) clamp. 🤷‍♂️

edit - I have just found this statement - which implies you need to use this clmap with a 2mm sleeve over a 57mm pipe I think "These are designed to clamp a sleeve over the pipe onto that size of pipe."

Interesting results ..... In the end I bought one of these stainless clamps, as it was obvious i needed to clamp 57mm (and Lupolee did say get a wide one 😄). It just about fills the space between the two cans, and I think I got it tightened down pretty well.
However when I tried to start the bike at first it fired briefly but then just churned. My first thought was there must be a sensor in that area and I have crushed it. But I checked the shop manual and the O2 sensor is not in that clamp area. So back to the bike and churn it some more. Eventually it began spluttering then after a few more prods it took hold properly and ran for a couple of minutes at 2000rpm before eventually settling down at 1400rpm. This did NOT feel like the normal cold start sequence, and I am thinking that the ECU had adapted the fuelling to cope with leakage at that broken clamp and now I've fixed it, it has to relearn things. What do you think?
